My fiancé is filing for his GC (has biometrics appointment mid Dec, I140 approved, I485 filed in Nov). We’re planning to get married in June- if he gets his GC before I can be added to his application then does anyone know how long before I get mine? I read somewhere that spouse can be added as dependent anytime before GC is issue to main applicant. TIA

With how quickly new I-485s are being approved recently I’d get married ASAP so you can file a I-485 while his I-485 is pending and avoid filing an I-824 which takes forever

like

Form I-824 is also used for follow-to-join petitions

If he gets his GC before the marriage u get stuck in Family based GC, it might take a while to get ur GC processed.
I’d get married on paper for the official purpose n fill together.

I thought we’d need to file an I 130 and I 485 form?

So in the event his I-485 is approved before you’re able to file your own you’ll have two options: 1) file an I-824 follow to join petition and process your GC at a consulate, this can take awhile but your visa number will be current; 2) file an I-130 and I-485, but the issue would be that you visa number would be in the F2A category. Historically, the F2A category has been retrogressed which means that you can’t file your I-485 at the same time as your I-130. Either is a really shitty option so I’d get s Court-house marriage so you can avoid both options.

F2A is current across all categories in Dec 2022 visa bulletin.

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
